Mon, 01 Jan 2007 06:41:05 +0000http://blogs.timesunion.com/readandreact/?p=66#comment-614I have an idea, remove or make the offending part of the persons body unusable. Make it so the the “tools of there trade” will never work again and the desire to use them, abolished. I feel the same way about career welfare women and men having children to collect more. It has to stop some place and it might as well be here. It’s not cruel to control those who have no control. It is cruel to society to allow this behavior to continue. If you won’t act responsibily then society shall force it down your throat.

Tue, 28 Nov 2006 18:01:20 +0000http://blogs.timesunion.com/readandreact/?p=66#comment-612I don’t believe in civil confinement, or capital punishment, so I don’t know why you are being so hostile.As for making a victim report a crime, you better start trying to make it easier for a person to do so. The average rape victim has to tell their story 32x’s after a sexual assault, which isn’t easy. Imagine telling a group of strangers about being violated again and again, and then having people doubt your story if you forget a detail or question how you were in such a situation or what you were wearing or how much you were drinking, whatever the case is.So much easier said than done.

Regarding the story, I do think its a violation of rights to hold these people beyond their court sentence.

Just like the thousands of church members that was unaware of or kept quiet the accusations of sexual abuse until it made the headlines. We all work with past and present criminals and we don’t even give it a second thought. How about someone convicted of having sex with a minor? Does he or she not deserve a chance to get on with their lives? What happened to the guy or girl that lied about their age and consented to having sex? Nothing! But is it okay for her to be forgiven and not the offender? Not every criminal returns back to a life of crime! Some learn their lessons while countless others don’t! What should be the next step for our goverment, create sexual offender communities tucked away from the public? Would you like to impose capital punishment for jay-walkers, next? We need to educate those young potential victims in the hazards, the steps of prevention, and also how to report these crimes if they do occur because your right, it is so common for it to go unreported. And despite what a victim might be going through it helps no one by not reporting it. How often does someone come out after a person is caught for rape to say, hey I know him/her, they raped me way back when. Reporting it is the second most important step and it’s almost a tie with education which should be considered first. But regarding this story, it was a crime to detain these individuals beyond their court sentence just because…

Sun, 26 Nov 2006 14:07:25 +0000http://blogs.timesunion.com/readandreact/?p=66#comment-610Mitymouth, Sex Offenders already live near you and your daughter. For every one convicted sex offender there are 20 that will never see a court room. This is an underreported crime. Its politically irresponsible to give the public a false sense of security, that if you do not receive a community notification letter, you don’t have a sex offender living in your neighborhood. Sex offenders establish a relationship with their victims, so tracking them won’t do anything. If a sex offender gets friendly with a child and invites the child into their house, the tracking device will only show that they were in their house all day, it doesn’t tell them what they do. Most cases involve someone the parents know and trust or are related to. Education and open communication is the best defense against sex offenders.

Sat, 25 Nov 2006 18:35:24 +0000http://blogs.timesunion.com/readandreact/?p=66#comment-609In light of new technology, it is not finacially feasible for every law dept. to track and moniter every sex offender at all times. Even though their crimes are ones that us parents feel should bring upon tougher and longer sentences, the convicted person still has rights. To keep someone locked up beyond their sentence to me is a crime itself. Once a person has served their sentence, it is not up to someone to override the courts decision to impose that they remain remanded until further notice! What should be done with sex offenders after they are released from prison will never be answered. Because what do you do with anyone that is released from prison for a violent crime? Mandate strick rules like curfews, out patient treatment or group meetings, drug testing, work programs, and yes, close monitering from their parole or probation officer. But on the flip-side of this, our parole/probation officers are currently out numbered, over worked and our state and cities gov’t are not allocating the monies to even the sides.

Thu, 23 Nov 2006 17:10:26 +0000http://blogs.timesunion.com/readandreact/?p=66#comment-608I for one don’t want a sex offender living near me or my daughter. Everyone of them should be wearing ankle braclets to keep track of all there movements. Tougher sentences should be handed out in these kind of cases. If you want to commit one of these crimes you don’t deserve the protection of the constitution.

Wed, 22 Nov 2006 16:31:08 +0000http://blogs.timesunion.com/readandreact/?p=66#comment-607WOW !!!! This is a loaded question, and Story. The top Doctors in the land tell us that “sexual predators” are never cured. They will be repeat offenders. The New York legislature voted 7-0 to go with the Governor. After they have completed their full sentence, or get a Parole because of good behavior in jail, I think that they should be monitored for the rest of their lives. Closely Monitored. Should they be kept in an institution? I don’t know, but “closely monitored” is a definite yes. I guess that if all their time is served, it would only benefit society the best if they were kept confined in an institution. If it was put to me to say Yes or No to keeping them in an institution, I would say YES. Of course you can bet that the ACLU will be chiming in on this very soon. I have a lot to say about this, but I have to refrain from going any further.

Wed, 22 Nov 2006 15:34:10 +0000http://blogs.timesunion.com/readandreact/?p=66#comment-606They are SEX OFFENDERS their rights should be taken away. Innocent children and victims of their abuse have had their right to NOT live in fear removed because of their actions. I DO NOT feel sorry for them, they should be away from society, so that no other person will be victimized by them again. I do believe in the Constitution and everything it stands for, but when you commit a sexual act agaisnt another person, they should have those rights taken away.
